Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!!! How many Irish friends do I have out there? I don’t have a stitch of Irish in me, but my mom would make corned beef and cabbage every year on St. Patrick’s Day with a loaf of Italian bread. No one in my family likes it, so I haven’t had it in years.

OnStage 2026 is in the books. I arrived home around 10pm Sunday night, it was so good to get home to my own bed and pillow. My girls went crazy when I walked in the house and stayed by my side the rest of the night, following me room to room. My intention was to post this yesterday, but there were technology issues with my computer and phone, so it had to wait until today.

There’s a lot of photos here from Sunny California’s OnStage. Here we go.

First thing we all did was registered and received out swag. After picking it up we had a little bit of time before our first session started.

After the first session, a group of us went to Tequilla Jack’s for a delicious dinner together. Others went to the Welcome party they had.

Friday morning Amy, Mary, Tara and I got to go to OnStage+ which was a breakfast for leaders. We each received a small bag to match our large bag. After breakfast, our sessions began. Once everything was over, a group of us headed out for an Italian dinner, which was delicious.

After dinner it was time for After Hours for those who signed up. We received a bundle along with some DSP and cardstock and got to create some cards (I’ll be showing those tomorrow).

This is one of the new bundles coming in May.

Jo, Sue, LeAnne and Carole are hard at work creating. This is really a beautiful suite, and I can’t wait to get the rest of it.

We even got to play with a couple of the new Stamp Pads in the 2026-2028 In-Colors. Afterwards we all headed to our rooms to rest up for Saturday.

Here are some peeks at some of the new DSP coming in May

Here are some peeks at some new suite and bundles coming in May.

They held off until Saturday to give us our catalogs.

Stampin’ Up! does a lot of celebrating by having us walk across the stage and waving. I had to go up a few times, once for becoming Silver Elite and once for hitting my 100K in career to date sales. Mary, Amy and I went up on stage together to celebrate earning the 2026 Incentive trip.

Every year we try to take a group picture at one of their props they have set up.

Every year after it’s all over, we all gather for a pizza party. This year we gathered in Mary’s room to eat pizza and salad, chat and laugh.

Hope you enjoyed seeing the pictures from the weekend. We all had such a great time together, chatting, laughing and getting to know one another and we’re already excited about getting together again next year. Pictured here from the left are Mary’s feet, Pete, Tara on the floor, Jo, Myself, LeAnne, Lynn, Debra, Carole and Sue. Amy was taking the picture.
